The Anthracite Coal Industry and the Busness Affected with a Public Interest

Authors

Andrew Alexander Bruce, University of North Dakota

Abstract

The constitutions, state and federal, do not anywhere guarantee any absolute property rights nor right to liberty. The guarantee is merely that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty and property without due process of law. The right to liberty and property was never absolute under the English law, and the American constitutions have never been construed as going further than guaranteeing the continuance of the rights which existed at the time of their adoption.
